Not only did we interview the creator of the GreenMountain Gold Trap we also field tested it. We are using the 23 inch Pay Streak Finder and it could easily handle 2 people shoveling into it. It is easy to set up and being clear you can easily see that it is running correctly. The clean up is easy as well, just pull the drawer out leaving the classifier in place, dump it in a pan and put the drawer back and you are ready to run again. Pan out the concentrates to see how you are doing. You can do this as often as you like or you can run it all day long. The GreenMountain Gold Trap works great and we highly recommend it to any prospector, weather you are just starting out or you are a well seasoned sourdough.

This is titled The Real Felix Pay Dirt Review because we had previously did a Felix Pay Dirt Review and as it turned out it was a fake, you can find that video also on LBRY, view it and do a comparison as to how it compared to the real thing.

As it goes for pay dirt I would just like to say you don’t do it for the return on your investment, you do it for practice at getting better at panning or you just do it because it is that time of year that you cannot get out to do any gold prospecting and you are jonesing, you do it for entertainment. If you want a return on your investment then buy gold from a precious metals dealer or an exchange.

But this is our latest video and Hillbilly John pans out a bag of Felix Pay Dirt, see the results and please let us know your thoughts by commenting on the video or this blog post. Please click on the link to view the video.

I know that it has been a while since we have posted anything here on our blog but we have been busy. We are still prospecting and we are still creating content, our last post was back in July of 2018 and it was about LBRY and this is kind of an update. This is our experience with LBRY.

First let me lay some ground work here. I Prospector Jack had started watching content on YouTube in it’s early days probably as early as 2007, I was drawn to it because there was and still is nothing but garbage on TV, I hated the commercials. The news is fake and has been since cable network news began in my opinion. YouTube in the early days had no commercials and I found a lot of interesting content. I watched a lot less TV and a lot more YouTube.

In 2011 we, Appalachian Prospectors started creating our own content for no other reason than to share with the world what we were passionate about and that is prospecting. Eventually the YouTube partner program came along where YouTube would pay content creators a very small percentage to show advertising on their videos, we excepted, why not make a little money. We later came to realize that people were making a living on YouTube, we thought maybe we could. How great would that be to make a living from what you are passionate about. We new it was a long shot since we were a small obscure channel with poor filming and editing skills but we worked at getting better. We got our first paycheck of $100 and we were ecstatic but a few days maybe even a week later we received an email stating that we were going to be demonetized due to the fact that we had under 1000 subscribers and we didn’t meet the minimal amount of annual watch time. I say that we were pretty angry with YouTube. YouTube moved the goal post, and continues to move the goal post today with censorship and demonetization. YouTube is now looking for more commercially viable content creators. That sounds a lot like TV.

We are still on YouTube but we are very glad that we have synced our channel to LBRY and we have been there since June of 2018. You Can read more about LBRY in our previous post. LBRY is a censorship resistant multi media protocol which means that it is not just limited to video, if it is in a digital file it can be uploaded which works well for us because you will find on our channel articles and reports on where gold has been found and mined in the past which is helpful to those who are looking for gold today. We will be posting many more of these to help prospectors find more gold and or gems and minerals. We will also be uploading scientific studies in the future. Besides our YouTube synced content we have created content exclusively on LBRY.

We have gained followers much more rapidly than we did on YouTube. As far as monetization LBRY is a blockchain protocol, LBC is it’s coin, if a viewer likes your content they will tip you LBC, also if viewers like your content they will support your channel or individual videos with LBC which helps in trending. We have had numerous videos trending in the top 5. Our channel is in the top 200 which is great for us. The potential for earning on LBRY is astronomical and far out weighs the earnings from YouTube in our case and would be for the case of any smaller channel and the channel that is just getting started. We see a very bright future on LBRY. We invite you to give LBRY a try and follow our channel: https://lbry.tv/$/invite/@Appalachian-Prospectors:d

The LBRY team is hard at work every day to make the protocol better and better. We have seen a lot of change since we began with LBRY, at first there was the desktop app and then the mobile app and now there is LBRY TV on the web. If you have any problems the team is always there ready to help and you get a one on one experience, you sure don’t get that on YouTube. Oh and I forgot to mention LBRY is commercial free.Give it a try, what do you have to lose? All we have experienced is gain.
